The Victorian Mental Health Royal Commission and Mental Health Reform Series Part 2 - Ingrid Ozols AM

Wednesday, 5 May 2021 - 5:00pm to 5:30pm

If you listened in last week you would know this week is part 2 in our series on the Victorian Royal Commission and Mental health Reform. If you missed it, you can find it HERE

Last week we spoke to the wonderful Cindy Smith, the CEO of the Australian Association of Social Workers. 

This week we have the absolute pleasure to speak with Ingrid Ozols AM. Ingrid is an active workplace, and community, mental health and suicide prevention life experience advocate, educator, and peer support co-design and research consultant of 20 years with many other working roles within the Mental Health & Health sector. Ingrid is the founding director of Mental Health At Work and has contributed to mental health policy reform in Australia. Ingrid is currently working with Suicide Prevention Australia and has made many submissions to the Royal Commission as both an individual and as someone who works in the sector. She is here today to talk about the submissions she has made as well as her overall view of Mental Health Reform.

Wednesday 5:00pm to 5:30pm
Challenging the mainstream, negative stereotypes of people with a mental illness, Brainwaves actively engages those living with a mental illness as researchers, interviewers, performers and program designers while promoting community mental health awareness.
